I finally unlocked Type-Z. Played few runs, got ~4500 oku.
I also managed to improve my stage 1 score from 500 oku to 700 oku with Type-I.

So yeah, started feeling like playing more Ketsui instead of DFK. I should have done this ages ago, Ketsui is so much fun:

Too bad I didn't record it, the end was really intense. I had only 1 spare life going into the 1-5 descent and I got myself hopelessly cornered there and had to bomb. Everyone familiar with the looping conditions knows that it meant I had to NMNB through the entire endgame. I'm quite happy I managed to not panic there.

Now I need to do this with the port too, and beat Doom in X-Mode.

313m in Futari 1.5 Original! NM1B until a little way into stage 5 - two deaths on the stage portion, one death on Larsa. Improving from here will be pretty tough.

Erppo: Congrats! Now go for 100m if you haven't got it already. If you have, 120m.

SAS · « **Reply #63 on:** February 20, 2011, 11:13:33 PM »

Haha, made it to the ascend-section of stage 5.

Erppo · « **Reply #64 on:** February 20, 2011, 11:35:20 PM »

Whoa, awesome!

---

Here is something really amazing. It's a replay of someone beating the C-Strong WR in the DFKBL port (Zatsuza included). It's really one of the best runs in a game I have seen. Especially the laser wheels in stage 5 are done with absolutely perfect precision. C-S also makes for more exciting replays, since it seems that sitting in corners canceling bullets isn't a good scoring strategy with it.

Oh and I beat the X-Mode Doom too. That fight with that music is the coolest thing, so I'm glad I can actually do it in X :V

Sapz · « **Reply #65 on:** February 21, 2011, 08:50:30 AM »

Well, god damn, I completely forgot about SotW this week. Raaargh house hunting. >:V But anywho, do you guys want a break week or do you have something you'd like to play? I didn't get anything planned for this week yet, but if there's some kind of consensus I can start a SotW up.

Erppo and Sas: Congrats!

Some sort of Gradius would be fine too.

DOJBL

Erppo · « **Reply #70 on:** February 21, 2011, 05:17:22 PM »

KETSUI

I'm fine with both, I'm just better at Ketsui

Naut · « **Reply #71 on:** February 21, 2011, 05:19:07 PM »

I'm fine with
DOJBL
because Ketsui is too memorizizy to play at all, dojbl only requires memorizizing for scoar

Erppo · « **Reply #72 on:** February 21, 2011, 05:25:24 PM »

Yeah but we're playing for score, and
KETSUI
scoring can be improvised.

THIS. At least then we'll all probably suck at it.

That and I can't 1cc DOJBL or Ketsui yet.

Edit: If Ketsui happens, I expect someone to post an Ura score. I know some of you could get to it

Also, didn't we have a shmupMAME 2.2 Ura savestate somewhere? I'd like to at least mess around with it, and maybe it'd help with my first loop performance. Also, how different are the bosses in the two loops. I know DFK has the bosses the same, but I doubt that's the case on Ketsui.

Zengar Zombolt · « **Reply #74 on:** February 21, 2011, 06:16:36 PM »

It was on the last thread somewhere, I remember. Couldn't get past stage 2 :ohdear:

Erppo · « **Reply #75 on:** February 21, 2011, 06:28:46 PM »

I posted one, but it was for the normal Mame, and doesn't work in Shmup. I can do another one pretty quickly as I already have some states where I can get to that point with minimal effort.

You do realize that it require absolutely perfect survival in the first loop, and as if that's not enough you need a really high score too?

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #76 on:** February 21, 2011, 06:40:32 PM »

120 million, right? Or is that number off.

I'm not sure how hard that would be. I figure if you're able to no miss no bomb the first loop, you should be getting at least that much.

Erppo · « **Reply #77 on:** February 21, 2011, 06:50:40 PM »

Done: http://www.mediafire.com/?bejgxz8bo66fnv6 Even though you start with max resources, be prepared to get completely destroyed. As far as I know, the only differences between Ketsui loops are the suicide bullets, which are a lot meaner in Ura. That and the fact Evaccaneer's final phase is replaced with Doom of course.

I still have no idea how can some people do the blue choppers just before the first loop endboss consistently. Every time I make it through it involves some insane luckdodges.

Yeah, 120M. It does require quite some scoring effort too. When I first tried to savestate it, I only got like 100M from a NMNB clear where I still tried to score a bit.

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #78 on:** February 21, 2011, 07:04:27 PM »

Nice. I'll have to mess with that savestate once I have some time.

Let's play Gradius III arcade.

shadowbringer · « **Reply #80 on:** February 22, 2011, 12:51:07 AM »

Thunder Dragon 2

or else I'd like to hear how to scoar in whatever game is chosen (and I hope I don't have to memorize stages or boss patterns, memorizing is stressful)

Oh yes please.

That and I want to see all the runs ending on stages 1, 2, or 3. maybe someone would get past that though.

GUYS TOO MANY VOTES AAAAAH okay let me set up a poll or something Jesus

Also, 391m in Futari 1.5 Maniac. Lots of stupid mistakes so tons of room for improvement - didn't even reach the descent in stage 5. Going for 450m!

I've heard a lot of people asking for Futari for SotW. I don't want to do it this week since everyone is expecting to play this week and not everyone has it, but what do you guys think of having it for a week in the future?

Chaotic Phoenixma · « **Reply #85 on:** February 22, 2011, 04:19:17 AM »

Did you milk stage 2 boss on that run?

Sapz · « **Reply #86 on:** February 22, 2011, 04:24:06 AM »

To a small degree. I got yellow gems from the first set of orbs, and cashed in on the second, didn't let him reach the third.

shadowbringer · « **Reply #87 on:** February 22, 2011, 04:31:05 AM »

I'd rather play Crimzon Clover over Mushi Futari..

Spoiler:

well, voted for Thunder Dragon 2, will try to play whatever game is chosen.. (good luck finding a replay in time, though :p)

Zengar Zombolt · « **Reply #88 on:** February 23, 2011, 04:07:34 AM »

Missed the Trafalgar extend (Let the top of the hull escape) but got the Panzer Jaeger/Tiger Schwert one.
What the hell.
